1 Claim.

gut to which the hooks are secured is held constantly stretched so that there is no danger of their crimping rendering them unfit for use, and it consists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as hereinafter explained.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my carrier with the lid raised.

Fig.` 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 showing the leaf carrying the spoon baits swung so as to allow of the removal of a spoon bait or hook.

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view through the closed carrier.

Fig. 4 is a. similar view to Fig. 3 shown in the open position, the forward position of the tray being shown in dotted lines.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional detail of the spoon bait holder.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional detail of the fish hook holder.

Fig. 7 shows an alternative form of hook engaging plate.

Fig. 8 shows an alternative form of reticulated member intermediately broken away of its length.

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

I indicates the body of the cabinet forming my carrier, 2 the cover hinged at 3 to the body I and 4 and -5 strut members pivoted respectively to the body and cover at 4x and 5x and together at 6 and having engaging stops 4 and 5 indicated in Fig. 4 to hold the cover definitely in a position most convenient for removing the tackle therefrom.

1 is a tray which is suitably divided into compartments for receiving various articles needed in fishing. 'Ihe tray 1 is pivotally mounted at 8x at each end on struts 8 pivoted at 8 to the end wall of the body I. The forward end of the tray is supported by a pin 9 extending therefrom and resting in its supporting position in a socket 9". 'I'he tray 1 may be lifted forward to the dotted position and supported on the front wall of the body I so that the contents beneath the tray may be got at.

I is a casing secured to the inner face of the cover top at one end-and provided with a series of parallel slots II'IX. are hooks extending through the slots IIIx and provided with enlarged outer ends IIx. I2 are tension springs connected at one end to the hooks and at the opposite end to the rib ||l extending from the outer end Wall of the casing I0.

I3 is a plate bar secured to the top of the cover 2 adjacent the opposite end thereof and from which extend a series of stud pins I3x preferably provided with heads |30. I4 is a iish hook to whichis .attached the usual gut I4x and loop |40.

In order to secure the fish hook in place, the

`loop |4 is engaged with the hook II and the spring I2 drawn thereby into tension to allow of the hook I4 being passed around the pin |3x. By this means the gut or the equivalent part is drawn and held taut so that it cannot possibly become crimped and is, therefore, always in good shape for use.

A leaf formed by the U-shaped frame portion I and the casing I5x connecting the side arms of the frame together and. hinged at I5o to the cover 2 is provided with a reticulated portion I6. I1 are a series of hooks and |1x are tension springs resiliently holding the hooks I1. I8 are spoon baits provided with the usual hooks |8x. I 8 is a perforation formed in the other end of the spoon.

When placing the spoons within the carrier,l

one of the hooks I1 is passed through the perforation IIIo and the springl I1x drawn into tension. One of the hooks Iiix is then passed through one of the openings of the reticulated portion I6, the contraction of the spring I1x then drawing the hook I8x and spoon I8 firmly in alignment with the face of the leaf I5, |5x.

I9 is a spring finger having a notch or recess 20 engaging the edge of the frame I5 and 2| is a knob by which thel frame edge is pulled clear of the notch 29.

In Fig. '1, I have shown an alternative form of hook engaging means comprising a plate 2| which is secured inside the lid in place of the bar I3 and from which 'are stamped up the hook projections 2|X so arranged as to accommodate the hooks of tackle of various lengths, the sh hooks engaging the projections 2|x in the same manner as they engage the pins |33.

In Fig. 8, I have shown an alternative construction of the reticulated member in which the casing 22 corresponding to the Icasing It'x of Figs. 1 to 5 is arranged transversely and centrally of the reticulated member, the spring held hooks 22x extending from each side thereof and preferably staggered one in relation to the other permitting the holding of a very much longer bait.

y of being misleid.

What I claim as my invention is:- A fishing tackle comprising a casing body and cover, a supplemental casing secured within the com ma imm hummm-nouw@- in,aspringcecuredatoneendwithinthesup plemental casing and'extending beneath each.

s1ot.a,hooksecuredtotheopposite endofthe spring and extending through the slot to engage one end ot a shing tackle. and a pin in a line with each slot and located at the opposite end of the cover around which the tackle hook is adepted to extend to hold the tackle in stretched position.
